Work
Things I built because they needed to exist.
Five independent projects, each shipped solo and running in the world, with my name on the failures as well as the wins.

Products founded
- VictoraRunning today. Learns a business deeply, builds the customer context that follows from it, then reads where those buyers gather and returns a list of real people already asking for what the business sells, each with a link and a stated reason it matches. The context is the interesting part: understand the business first, and everything downstream gets better. victora.ai
- Aunt MabelRunning today. A warm daily voice call for an elderly parent living alone, with real conversation and live escalation to family the moment something is wrong. It came out of the field: after every storm the same pattern turned up, older people alone with nobody checking. auntmabel.ai
- TextOSRunning today. An operating system that runs entirely through text messaging, with no app, no dashboard and no login: you text in, the system texts back, and the work gets done. Architected solo on Cloudflare Workers with a 31-table Postgres schema and an orchestration engine that runs thirty-plus workflows from plain language.
- InkThornRunning today. A standing crew of AI agents that gathers and publishes a daily New Orleans intelligence dashboard: live music from WWOZ, comedy listings and weather, assembled and shipped without anyone touching it. Built as a proving ground for autonomous agents doing real recurring work on a schedule. inkthorn.ai
- FlyplystFounded and raised capital.
- HashParade, ValuebinCo-founded.
- HomeWriteFounded. Acquired by Homestore.com.
What these have in common
Shipped, not slidewared.
Each one went from idea to running system solo, which means every architectural decision has my name on it and every mistake taught me something a case study would not. When I scope your project, the estimate comes from having done the work, not from having managed someone who did.
